The notorious Philadelphia Press if-, endeavoring to create the impression j that the Republican State Committee are opposing the election of Hon. Chas. W. Stone. State Chairman Elkin said in his speech at Media, last Saturday: "One of the charges which have been industriously circulated in every part of the State is that the regular organiz- [ ation of the party in some mysterious way not apparent, has been able to get a candidate in opposition to the re- election of the Hon. Chas. W. Stone. I take this opportunity to say that this charge is absolutely, unqualifiedly and ] maliciously false. It has not the shadow of foundation in fact. It is a | fabrication worked out of the invent- | ive imagination of designing persons, ! who do not even believe it themselves. | The regular organization ot the party I is anxious to elect a Republican Coii- | gressman in every Congressional dis- ; trict in the State, and will spare no j efforts to accomplish this result. The j Republican candidate for Governor | will soon apear on the same platform j with the Hon. C. W. Stone in his dis- | trict, advocating the election of the i whole Republican ticket." He Led the Charge. A writer in the Philadelphia Press j pays the following tribute to Capt. | Harry Alvan Hall for his work at the J battle of Coamo: "The success of the charge was due to the bravery and ferocity of the men and the skill and daring of Captain Harry Alvan Hall. The latter led the charge from the moment they entered the little ravine until they reached the enemy's position, exposing himself to the hot fire fearlessly and continually, and urging on his men by his word and example. The result, however, might have been different in spite of him had not the volley firing of the charging troops been so deadly. On the first volley the Spanish commander fell dead and with him several of his ! leading officers. This disconcerted j the Spaniards, and though they des- I perately resisted the attack, their re- | sistance was ineffectual. After a fierce fight they were compelled to yield . I their position and surrender upwards of five hundred of their number to the I victors." Bight in It. That's where Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is.

It is with pleasure we publish | the following: "This is to certify that I was a terrible sufferer from yellow jaundice for over six months, and was treated by some of the best physcians .i in our city and all to no avail.

In his spasm he evidently gaped at a chicken and swallowed a Buffalo and has nothing left but a few hairs which he viewed with a microscope and found them to be just like himself. Friend Buzz you do not have to view buffalo hairs to see nothing All you have to do is to look in the mirror. Your case is critical; you had better consult Dr. Squirrel, the Huston Hill yawl doctor, before its too late. In your letter last week you said your * people didn't know when it was Sunday. That's easily accounted for, its ignorance. We did not advertise for the Sterling Run correspondent, Buzz or Herecules either and then got mad because we found him.

Guess Jay thought it was more of a battle-field than abase ball diamond. Geo. Hart, of Austin, made a flying trip here to-day in search of a fellow the raised one of his checks from $4.1)0 to f'lo.OO. lie captured one of the gang at Austin and has him securely cooped.

Candidates Olmsted and Thomas were around last week, fixing up poli- tical fenced They are both good men but both can not get the nomination. There seem 3 to bo some points that one lacks and the other gair.s, but the one that gets the most votes will surely win. All that we have promised either candidate we hope we will do as agreed as in a business transaction. :y : Disregard the Chronic Grumblers. There are those who can find noth- i ing encouraging in business conditions | at any time. If they are crowded with I orders they complain of small profits I and the hard work, and if the profits are big and the work light they will J still grumble about something. The j worst effect of this chronic tendency i to grumble on the part even of a few j of the leading business men in any I given community is that it is apt to j create a false impression about the ac tual condition, and thus retard busi- ngs prosperity even where the condi- tions exist for a business boom of the most gratifying proportions. Just now, when wholesale merchants are crowded with orders, when fact- ories are being run on full time, when the largest wheat crop ever known has been harvested and the prospects of an abundant corn crop are of the best and railways are taxed to their utmost capacity to handle the freight that is being offered, a class of busi- ness men are finding something to grumble about, and this class has its representatives in our own city as well as elsewhere. Their numbers are few and their influence not great, but so far as they can create a false impres- sion and encourage distrust and hesi- tancy where they should be buoyant with business confidence. At no time within the last ten years has there been less reason for doubt and hesitancy in business circles or less cause for the lugubrious croaking l of the chronic business grumblers, j Some of the grumblers are doing the I largest business they ever did in their j lives, and one would think that com- mon business sagacity would lead them to assume the confident instead of the despondent tone. As the chronic grumblers will be chronic grumblers to the end of their days, however, it is clearly the policy of other folks to disregard their croak- ing and be guided by the encouraging : business conditions which exist. A pilgrimage among the jobbing houses i and to the freight receiving stations of the various transportation companies will convince any observing person that business even in what is usually the dull season of the year is the reverse ] of dull. Business is good and growing better whether measured by the test of weekly or monthly sales, railway freight receipts, bank clearings or a low ratio of business failures, and these are indications that should outweigh all the lugubrious wailings of all the | chronic business grumblers that could secure standing room in a ten-acre lot. -?Philadelphia Times. Popular Primaries. There is a growing sentiment in the South and West for what is known as popular primaries. Georgia and South Carolina have tested the system and found it satisfactory and Alabama is about to enter on a trial of it. In several Western States the question is being agitated and, perhaps, may be adopted in the near future. Under this system political conven- tions for the nomination of candidates are practically done away with. Any man may become a candidate for any office, by paying a small fee and taking out candidate's papers. This permits his name to be be printed on the official primary ballots. All persons entitled to vote at a general election are en- titled to vote at the primaries and thus i the person nominated is to all intents and purposes elected, for the subse- quent election is nothing more than a ! ratification. In some respects the system is ex- ! cellent, as it prevents a few men from 1 controlling and directing nominations i in convention. Oil the other hand it ' would put the control of nominations into the hands of the party in power, j thus giving it a greater chance to per- petuate itself. The plan pursued by leaders in Pennsylvania, and notably Senator Quay, ingoing directly to the people for endorsement, takes in the best elements of the "popular primaries" without doing away with party distinc- tions and party principles. If Southern and Western States that propose to adopt the new system embody this modification, the plan is far more likely to prove successful and bene- ficial. ?Philadelphia Inquirer.

Lie Nailed.The notorious Philadelphia Press if-,

endeavoring to create the impressionj that the Republican State Committeeare opposing the election ofHon. Chas.W. Stone. State Chairman Elkin saidin his speech at Media, last Saturday:"One of the charges which have beenindustriously circulated in every partof the State is that the regular organiz-

[ ation of the party in some mysteriousway not apparent, has been able to geta candidate in opposition to the re-

election of the Hon. Chas. W. Stone.I take this opportunity to say that thischarge is absolutely, unqualifiedly and

] maliciously false. It has not theshadow of foundation in fact. It is a

| fabrication worked out of the invent-| ive imagination of designing persons,! who do not even believe itthemselves.| The regular organization ot the partyI is anxious to elect a Republican Coii-| gressman in every Congressional dis-

; trict in the State, and will spare no

j efforts to accomplish this result. Thej Republican candidate for Governor| will soon apear on the same platform

j with the Hon. C. W. Stone in his dis-| trict, advocating the election of thei whole Republican ticket."

He Led the Charge.A writer in the Philadelphia Press

j pays the following tribute to Capt.| Harry Alvan Hall for his work at the

J battle of Coamo:"The success of the charge was due

to the bravery and ferocity of the menand the skill and daring of CaptainHarry Alvan Hall. The latter led thecharge from the moment they enteredthe little ravine until they reached theenemy's position, exposing himself tothe hot fire fearlessly and continually,and urging on his men by his wordand example. The result, however,might have been different in spite ofhim had not the volley firing of thecharging troops been so deadly. Onthe first volley the Spanish commanderfell dead and with him several of his

! leading officers. This disconcertedjthe Spaniards, and though they des-

I perately resisted the attack, their re-

| sistance was ineffectual. After a fiercefight they were compelled to yield

. I their position and surrender upwardsof five hundred of their number to the

I victors."

Disregard the Chronic Grumblers.There are those who can find noth-

i ing encouraging in business conditions| at any time. Ifthey are crowded with

I orders they complain of small profitsI and the hard work, and if the profits

are big and the work light they will

J still grumble about something. Thej worst effect of this chronic tendency

i to grumble on the part even of a fewj of the leading business men in any

I given community is that it is apt toj create a false impression about theac tual condition, and thus retard busi-ngs prosperity even where the condi-tions exist for a business boom of themost gratifying proportions.

Just now, when wholesale merchantsare crowded with orders, when fact-ories are being run on full time, whenthe largest wheat crop ever known hasbeen harvested and the prospects ofan abundant corn crop are of the bestand railways are taxed to their utmostcapacity to handle the freight thatis being offered, a class of busi-ness men are finding something togrumble about, and this class has itsrepresentatives in our own city as wellas elsewhere. Their numbers are fewand their influence not great, but so

far as they can create a false impres-sion and encourage distrust and hesi-tancy where they should be buoyantwith business confidence.

At no time within the last ten yearshas there been less reason for doubtand hesitancy in business circles orless cause for the lugubrious croaking

l of the chronic business grumblers,j Some of the grumblers are doing the

I largest business they ever did in theirj lives, and one would think that com-mon business sagacity would leadthem to assume the confident insteadof the despondent tone.

As the chronic grumblers will bechronic grumblers to the end of theirdays, however, it is clearly the policyofother folks to disregard their croak-ing and be guided by the encouraging :business conditions which exist. Apilgrimage among the jobbing houses iand to the freight receiving stations ofthe various transportation companieswill convince any observing personthat business even in what is usuallythe dull season of the year is the reverse ]of dull. Business is good and growingbetter whether measured by the test ofweekly or monthly sales, railwayfreight receipts, bank clearings or alow ratio ofbusiness failures, and theseare indications that should outweighall the lugubrious wailings of all the |chronic business grumblers that couldsecure standing room in a ten-acre lot.-?Philadelphia Times.

Popular Primaries.There is a growing sentiment in the

South and West for what is known aspopular primaries. Georgia and SouthCarolina have tested the system andfound it satisfactory and Alabama isabout to enter on a trial of it. Inseveral Western States the question isbeing agitated and, perhaps, may beadopted in the near future.

Under this system political conven-tions for the nomination ofcandidatesare practically done away with. Anyman may become a candidate for anyoffice, by paying a small fee and takingout candidate's papers. This permitshis name to be be printed on the officialprimary ballots. All persons entitledto vote at a general election are en-titled to vote at the primaries and thus ithe person nominated is to all intentsand purposes elected, for the subse-quent election is nothing more than a !ratification.

In some respects the system is ex- !cellent, as it prevents a few men from 1controlling and directing nominations iin convention. Oil the other hand it 'would put the control of nominationsinto the hands of the party in power, jthus giving it a greater chance to per-petuate itself.

The plan pursued by leaders inPennsylvania, and notably SenatorQuay, ingoing directly to the peoplefor endorsement, takes in the bestelements of the "popular primaries"without doing away with party distinc-tions and party principles. IfSouthernand Western States that propose toadopt the new system embody thismodification, the plan is far morelikely to prove successful and bene-ficial. ?Philadelphia Inquirer.
